Poetic justice: the man who so shied away from the spotlight received the longest standing ovation in NFL Hall of Fame history at his induction--four minutes and four seconds.

[@PGHammer21A]

Monk - like Taylor - was NOT originally a wide receiver - Monk was a *running back* at Syracuse; this non-running back in college became the greatest wide receiver ever.

[@mikehartley8234]

As a kid, playing catch, it was never Montana to Rice, it was always Thiesmann to Monk. The true glory days of the Skins. What a player and such a humble man. One of the last GREAT role models for a kid to have

[@wadegray1864]

81 Art the Pro Monk U will always be the GREATEST to me! Mr. ART

[@scootertrash911]

He always seemed to be open, simply the best ever.

[@larrym5120]

He was the leading receiver of all time when he retired and to think he was used often to stay on the line to be a blocking tight end.

[@grumpysnail81]

Art Monk will always be the greatest in my eyes. The most clutch, the classiest, and the most admirable player to ever play the game. Not to mention he wore 81 which was the year I was born. As a Northern Virginia native he seemed destined to be my favorite player. He will always be the greatest Redskin ever as far as I'm concerned. HTTR4LIFE!

[@stevechandler8487]

Can’t believe it took him so long to make the HOF

[@joshuac6389]

Agreed! He was absolutely deserving of HoF status. All those writers who kept Monk put of the HoF are a discredit to their profession

[@andraetaggart1050]

And had the best football camp. Much respect.

[@tangoarmy]

I'm a life long Raiders fan but Art Monk was always my favorite player growing up.

[@tonyny3266]

We love you Art! Thanks for the amazing memories

[@jeremyparis3366]

The greatest receiver of all time G.O.A.T

[@jiiig8667]

There's no Rice without Monk. Used to watch the Skins with my dad when I was really small and I remember seeing this guy Monk on the TV. Name always stuck with me.

[@SwivelHippie]

Art Monk was all Class and all Greatness combined

[@johnjackson5281]

Da man!

[@brianwagar4512]

I wish you had seen the best Quantum Leap episode of all time.

[@bold810]

I Alexa'd "Art Monk facepalms an Indianapolis Colt because it was asking for it" vs. Tom Sproule from Cloverdale #🎉

[@garytucker3563]

Sigh...........great times.....

[@samthomasjr6562]

I call Art Monk "Automatic", because if it was thrown his was, it was automatic that Art was catching the rock... there's only one...ART MONK.

[@nflxfiles]

Well stated, my friend. There's only one Art Monk. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

[@popitforpoppa1682]

tyreek hill would dust him
